doubtedly correct since our material collected in Colorado shows 

 both stages on the same stroma. The pycnospores agree very 

 closely with those from Peck's type. No definite pycnidia 

 could be detected.

 1945. (Plate 135, Fig. 1.) 



Corgoniceps Kalmiae Rehm, Ann. Mjc. 2: 353. 1904. 



Apothecia gregarious, erumpent, at first cyathoid, short- 

 stipitate, finally becoming irregularly' discoid, externally reddish- 

 brown, reaching a diameter of 1 mm.; hymenium at first concave, 

 becoming plane, or convex, sordid-yellow; stem very short and 

 stout, gradually expanding into the apothecium; asci cylindric- 

 clavate, reaching a length of 40-50 yi and a diameter of 5-8 jjl, 

 8-spored; spores filiform, straight, or curved when freed from 

 the ascus, no septa apparent, 1 X 25-30 /x; paraphyses filiform, 

 slightly enlarged above, 1-1.5 /x in diameter. 



On decaying branches of Vaccinium corymhosum. 



Type locality: North America (exact locality not given). 



Distribution: Known only from the type locality.

Exsiccati: Ellis, N. Am. Fungi 147 (as Dermatea Kalmiae 

 Peck). This material which was incorrectly named by Ellis was 

 made the type of a new species by Rehm.

Apothecia occurring in cespitose clusters, or occasionally 

 single, sessile, slightly narrowed below, reaching a diameter of 

 1 mm. and a height of 1.5 mm., circular in form, or becoming 

 irregular from mutual pressure, dull-black, the consistency 

 leathery to cartilaginous, or horny when dry; hymenium at first 

 concave, becoming plane, or convex, black, or olivaceous when 

 moist; asci cylindric to clavate-cylindric, tapering below into a 

 stem-like base, reaching a length of 80-125 jx and a diameter of 

 7-9 ju; spores hyaline, filiform, septate, attenuated at the ends, 

 straight, or variously curved, intertwined in the ascus, 1.5-2 X 

 50-85 /x; paraphyses hyaline, filiform, septate, branched, 1.5-2 ii
